It’s time for a Fast Pass: Flexmls content made for your members without additional work on your part. Simply copy, paste, and send the email below to teach your members about tips for Quick Launch in Flexmls. Time-saving for you—educational for your members!

The Google-style search bar in Flexmls is one of the most powerful tools in the system. You’re probably familiar with using it to search by MLS number or address, or to look up offices or members. But, did you know about all the other ways you can use the search bar to save you time and effort? For a quick radius search in the Quick Launch bar, you can type  “near” or “1 mile from” + the MLS number to search. You can use symbols, such as combining > or  < with a price, to find homes more or less than that value. You can also combine search criteria, like “400k to 500k 4 bed 4 bath.” And, you can even search by listing status. Find recently closed listings by searching “recently closed.” All of these search options (and more!) are available to you in the Quick Launch bar.


Check out our step-by-step walkthrough or short video to learn more about quick tips for searching in Quick Launch–happy searching!

– And lots more valuable data

Sync Listing Status with Photo Privacy

From listed to sold, you have the ability to sync listing media privacy status with listing status. When your listing is active, showcasing high-quality photos and virtual tours to the public is important for attracting potential buyers. However, once the property is sold, your homebuyer might ask that the media be removed to protect their privacy. The photo privacy feature in Flexmls allows agents to control who can access past listing photos, by giving the ability to restrict access to only members of the MLS. This ensures that detailed images of the property are not freely available on the internet, protecting your client’s privacy while still allowing other real estate professionals access to necessary information for CMAs, appraisals, and future transactions. To learn how to use this feature to manage listings effectively and adhere to privacy concerns, check out some of the resources below.

Perhaps you’re searching for comparables for a CMA you are putting together later in the week, or perhaps you want a list of open houses. Creating a Listing Collection allows you to save a specific group of listings from the search results page. You can also select listings in search results and add them to an existing collection. 

Keep in mind that Listing Collections are static lists and they save the listings, not the search criteria. This means that once saved, the contents of your Listing Collection will not change unless you manually add new listings.

Photos 101

Let’s talk photos—an important part of the Add Listing process. In Flexmls, you are able to add or remove photos, rearrange the order, add titles and captions, change the primary photo, rotate photos, and change photo privacy. Below, you will find resources (guided tour, recorded training, and written help) that walk you through the process—but we’ve called out a few key things as well.

Remember:

  • Max file size is 15 MB or 3000 x 2000 pixels.
  • The primary listing photo cannot be deleted. This is the photo with the blue box around it when you are uploading/editing photos. To mark a different photo as primary, click the flag icon.
  • The maximum number of photos per listing is set by your MLS.
  • Changes to photos are saved automatically.

For example, if you have a lot of contacts, you might want to add the Date Created column to be able to sort contacts in order by age and have newest contacts at the top. There are lots of other data options available for you to add and customize to show the information you want to see in the order you prefer.

Custom Views for Tailored Search Results

Flexmls offers a wide range of customization features. In addition to being able to tailor your Quick Search templates, you are also able to customize the order in which those search results display, called Views. Views are a set of columns that display important data on search results pages, and you can customize them to fit your specific needs. For example, when looking at Closed Listings, you can include columns like Sold Date, Sold Price, Days on Market, and Selling Agent, compared to when looking at Active Listings, you might want List Price, Bedrooms, and Bathrooms. We’ve gathered a variety of resources to help you create custom Views and make the most of this powerful feature.

Contacts Not Getting Subscription Emails? Here’s Where to Check

The Opt-In Status Report in Flexmls shows which contacts are receiving listing updates via email for their subscriptions. (Quick refresh: subscriptions are the auto-emails that go out when listings that match your contact’s search are added or changed). Your clients are required to opt in to email subscriptions, giving Flexmls permission to send them auto-emails. With the Opt-In Status Report you can view a summary of your contacts’ opt-in statuses, or dive deeper to see who is pending opt-in, undeliverable, confirmed, opted-out or inactive–plus tips as to why your contacts are listed under those statuses. 

For example, if you see your contact under Undeliverable, the Opt-In Status Report might show that this is because that contact’s email address doesn’t exist and that you may want to check the spelling. If you have a contact who says they aren’t receiving subscription updates (and should be), this report is a great way to check their status and provide reasoning as to why they aren’t getting email updates.

Why You Should be Viewing Your Listing’s Activity Report

The Listing Activity Report provides valuable insights into how potential buyers and other agents in your MLS are interacting with your listings. This report is continuously updated to provide real-time statistics for the listings. It also includes important information, such as where people are viewing the listing (internet sites, customer portals, Flexmls messaging, and IDX site), how they’re rating it, other listings those people are looking at, and more. By analyzing the report, you can see if people are looking at your listing, and then see what action they are taking after viewing it (such as saving it or rejecting it). You can also set the report as an auto-email to your client, making it easy to keep them up-to-date. Learn more about where to find the Listing Activity Report and what you can learn by viewing it using the resources below.

You have the perfect listing. Who’s the perfect buyer?

There’s a lock for every key. Help your listing find its perfect match! With Reverse Prospecting, you can increase your listing’s exposure by alerting other agents in your MLS if they have a contact with a saved search that matches one of your listings. Flexmls will generate an email to that agent–and you can customize the email however you like. To be eligible for reverse prospecting, a search must have been created or updated within the past year and it must be attached to a contact in Contact Management. This is a great way to market your listings and get them seen by potential buyers!

But wait, there’s more…say you’ve found a listing, but you aren’t sure which client of yours it would be perfect for. Here, you can use the Match Contacts process to find which of your contacts would be interested in the listing according to their attached searches.

Search on the Wild Side

Wildcard searching in Flexmls allows you to strengthen your search if you are ever unsure about what exactly you are looking for. Normally, when filtering by a street name in Quick Search, there might be limitations on the search results you get. For example, if you enter a street name, such as “wood”, you will get back only search results that start with wood. However, a wildcard search will let you insert an asterisk in place of a word or letter. By adding an asterisk before wood (*wood), you will be able to see all search results that end with wood, such as Dogwood, Hollywood, and Northwood. If you add an asterisk after wood (wood*), you will get search results that begin with wood, such as Woodlawn, Woodstar, and Woodward. You can also add an asterisk before and after wood (*wood*) to search all results that have that term anywhere in the field. This is a helpful tool if you don’t remember the full street name you are searching, but this tool can be used many different ways.

Check out this help article to learn more. Also, did you know that when searching the Public or Private remarks, you can just type in a word (no asterisks) and it searches the entire remarks for that particular word? Follow this guided tour to see how you can search public or private remarks with a wildcard to help compensate for common misspellings of words.

This view is an easy, customizable, and efficient way to run through any set of listing results.

The panel at the top shows the photos or the map; whichever you click will open a larger view on the right side. The fields listed (current price, list price, etc..) are determined by the view you are using, so this is a great way to review listings with your most important fields in a consistent layout. You can use the up and down arrow keys to move through the set of results for an easy way to scan single listings in detail. You can also access this view by selecting any listing on the map and clicking “more info”. Give it a try!

Maximizing Quick Launch Capabilities

Today we are sharing a few lesser-known features when searching using Quick Launch. The Quick Launch bar is always available next to the Flexmls logo in the upper left corner of the page, and you can use it to search commonly used items in Flexmls. Let’s walk through a couple scenarios. 

  • You performed a search, looked at results, but then went and did something else. Now you want to go back to that search you ran but didn’t save. Enter: Draft Searches. In the Quick Launch bar, you can type “draft” and it will display the 5 most recent, unsaved searches that you ran. 

Quick Launch Draft Search Tips

  • Your client loved the location of a house (123 Main Street), but it’s no longer on the market. You want to search a 2 mile radius around that house for other listings in the area. In Quick Launch, you can search “2 miles from 123 Main Street” in the search bar and get a list of relevant results! Note: Radius searching is limited to whole numbers in the Quick Launch bar. 

Quick Launch Radius Search Tips

In addition to searching drafts and radiuses using the Quick Launch, you can also search for a contact, MLS number, listing address, saved and recent searches, basic criteria (beds, baths, property type, status), and more! Even better, you always have the option to open Quick Launch results in a new tab if you’re in the middle of something else. Easy to use for multitasking!

Search Results Faster

Get Quick and Targeted Results with the Radius Search

We all love being able to find properties that match our criteria quickly, with results that are relevant, and a radius search allows you to do just that. A radius search enables you to look for listings within a specified distance from a selected point on the map. For example, is your client trying to find a home within 2 miles of their office? Or a daycare? Or the community pool? Start with a radius search! You can also exclude listings within a certain radius. If noise from the local airport is a concern, use the radius tool to exclude any listings within 3 miles of the airport. You’ll look like a rockstar to your client. Multiple radius searching options are available in Flexmls. You can begin a radius search from the Quick Launch, from the Quick Search Map tab, or from the MLS # Search page. Check out all the resources below to walk through how to create a radius search. Happy searching!

How To Easily Transition Your Developers Off RETS https://flexmls.com/flexmls-academy/mls-administrators/how-to-easily-transition-your-developers-off-rets/ Mon, 03 May 2021 20:28:51 +0000 https://flexmls.com/?p=5406 Continued]]>

Bye-Bye Additional Work. Hello, Results!

Ready to share more Flexmls educational content with your developers without doing extra work? Then it sounds like you’re in need of another Flexmls Fast Pass.

This month we’re switching up our content and providing you with pre-created content that will teach your developers all about transitioning from RETS to the Spark or RESO Web API so they can join the future of Real Estate data transport and be backed by RESO Standards. Simply copy and paste the pre-written developer email below, and spend your normal content-creating time elsewhere!

How To Easily Transition Your Developers Off RETS
Future-Focused & RESO Standards Driven

Hi There (Developer Name), 

I’m writing to you because you currently either receive a RETS data feed or have requested one. We’d like to let you know that beginning (enter date here), we are transitioning data consumers from RETS to the Spark or RESO Web API, and all current RETS feeds must be transitioned to API by (enter date here).

RETS is currently being deprecated in favor of the Spark API and our RESO Web API. The future of real estate data transport increasingly uses RESO standards like the Web API and Data Dictionary. We urge developers and vendors to begin the transition from RETS to the APIs as early as possible.

The Spark Platform helps MLSs and developers connect for data feeds. Developers experienced with APIs should handle registration and applications. Agents and brokers should avoid signing up unless they know APIs to avoid confusion and fees.

Follow these steps to learn how to subscribe to an MLS data plan in the Spark Datamart:

1. Visit Spark and register as a developer. Note: Check out Pricing, Documentation, and the MLS Coverage section on the Spark website.

2. Complete the Developer Registration form and click “Sign Up” at the bottom of the page. 

3. Once your registration has been approved, you’ll need to sign up for a data plan to access live data. Start by logging into your new developer account.
4. Under the Datamart menu on the left, click “View Developer Datamart”. Click on the “Datamart” link near the top left. You will have to enter a payment method if you have not done so already. The payment screen drops you off in the app store when you’re finished entering your details, so once it does, go back to the Datamart at https://sparkplatform.com/appstore/datamart.

5. Find the MLS and data plan (IDX, VOW, etc.) you’d like to subscribe to and click “Plans and Pricing” to view the licensing costs and Terms and Conditions.
6. Click the “I accept the Terms and Conditions” checkbox.
7. Select the application(s) that will use the data.
8. Indicate whether you are building a product for a specific broker or agent or, if the option is available, multiple brokers or agents. Note: If building for a specific broker or agent, their Flexmls Login Name or TechId is required.

Developers transitioning from RETS to API can submit approval requests using the member’s TechId, in the RETS feed, the TechId is AgentId (MEMBER_0 in the Agent resource).


9. Click “Purchase With Approval”.
Clicking “Purchase With Approval” initiates the approval process. Depending on required approvals, the agent, office, association, and MLS may need to approve the subscription. After all approvals have been completed, you will receive an email from Spark with your data access instructions, you will see your subscriptions on your Spark dashboard, and your payment will be processed.

If an appropriate data plan is not available in the Spark Datamart, please contact the MLS directly to determine if they provide API access.

FBS API pricing is as follows:

  • If an MLS you want access to offers a data plan via our Datamart, you’d need to subscribe to it to get an API key with the appropriate permissions. Once you have at least one active Datamart subscription, our Spark API Pricing Model kicks in – There is an API fee of $50 per month per MLS. This fee is charged by FBS and not by the MLS.
  • Some MLS data plans have initial setup, monthly, or yearly fees associated with them, while others do not. The data plans and associated fees are determined by each MLS and separate from other fees.

 

Feel free to view the above steps in our documentation here.
